Roof Inspection Checklist

A simple, ground-level seasonal routine — no ladder required. Tick items off as you go; your progress is saved in this browser so you can build it into a habit. Based on our full inspection checklist guide.

0 of 10 checked

From the ground, outside

From inside the property

Tick items off as you go — takes most people 10–15 minutes for the full routine.

This checklist is for spotting early signs from the ground — it's not a substitute for a professional inspection. If anything here looks concerning, a roof inspection gives you an actual assessment rather than a guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I do this checklist?

A couple of times a year as a routine, plus an extra check after any significant storm, covers most homes well.

Is it safe to go into the loft to check for these signs?

Only if you can move safely and confidently across the joists with a torch, without stepping directly on insulation that can hide gaps. If you're not confident doing this, it's fine to skip that part and focus on the ground-level and ceiling checks.

Does my progress stay saved if I close the page?

Yes — your ticked items are saved in this browser (not on our servers), so you can come back and pick up where you left off, or start a fresh check next season.

Does this checklist replace a professional inspection?

No — it's designed to help you notice early warning signs between professional inspections, not to replace one. If you spot something, or simply haven't had a proper inspection in some years, it's worth booking one.
